2. Regulatory Framework & MSB Registration
FDraft LLC is a financial technology company headquartered at 1500 N Grant St Ste R, Denver, Colorado 80203, United States. We are formally registered as a Money Services Business ("MSB") with the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network ("FinCEN") under MSB Registration No. 31000327144592. As a FinCEN-registered MSB, we are subject to the full requirements of the Bank Secrecy Act and its implementing regulations.
Our AML compliance program is designed to meet the requirements of the following regulatory frameworks:
FinCEN / Money Services Business (MSB): FDraft LLC is registered with FinCEN as an MSB (Registration No. 31000327144592). We comply with all MSB obligations including AML program requirements, suspicious activity reporting (SARs), currency transaction reporting (CTRs), and recordkeeping under 31 CFR Chapter X.
Financial Action Task Force (FATF): We adhere to FATF's 40 Recommendations on combating money laundering and terrorist financing, including the risk-based approach to customer due diligence.
Bank Secrecy Act (BSA): We comply with BSA requirements including suspicious activity reporting, currency transaction reporting, and recordkeeping obligations as required for MSBs.
EU AML Directives: For European operations, we comply with the 6th Anti-Money Laundering Directive (6AMLD) and related national implementations.
OFAC Sanctions: We screen all customers and transactions against OFAC's Specially Designated Nationals (SDN) list and other applicable sanctions lists.
Local Regulations: We comply with AML/CFT regulations in all jurisdictions where we operate, including requirements from the FCA (UK), FinCEN (US), Colorado Division of Banking, and other relevant regulatory bodies.
3. Know Your Business (KYB) & Customer Due Diligence
FDraft LLC applies a risk-based approach to customer due diligence (CDD). All customers must complete our KYB process before accessing payment services.
Standard Due Diligence (SDD): Applied to lower-risk customers. Requires: - Certificate of Incorporation or equivalent - Proof of registered business address - Government-issued ID for all directors and beneficial owners (25%+ ownership) - Business description and expected transaction volumes - Source of funds declaration
Enhanced Due Diligence (EDD): Applied to higher-risk customers, including Politically Exposed Persons (PEPs), customers in high-risk jurisdictions, and businesses in sensitive industries. Requires all SDD documentation plus: - Enhanced source of wealth and funds documentation - Senior management approval for onboarding - More frequent ongoing monitoring - Additional reference checks
Simplified Due Diligence (SDD): May be applied to certain low-risk customers such as regulated financial institutions, listed companies, and government entities, subject to regulatory permissions.

Identification Requirements: For each beneficial owner, we collect: - Full legal name and date of birth - Nationality and country of residence - Government-issued photo identification - Proof of address (dated within 3 months) - Percentage of ownership or nature of control
Complex Structures: For businesses with complex ownership structures (multiple layers of holding companies, trusts, or nominee arrangements), we require documentation tracing ownership to the ultimate natural person(s) in control.

Ongoing Updates: Customers are required to notify FDraft LLC of any changes to beneficial ownership within 30 days of such changes occurring.
5. Transaction Monitoring
FDraft LLC employs automated transaction monitoring systems to detect suspicious activity in real time and on an ongoing basis.
Automated Monitoring: Our systems analyze transactions for: - Unusual transaction volumes or frequencies inconsistent with the customer's profile - Transactions involving high-risk jurisdictions or sanctioned entities - Structuring patterns designed to avoid reporting thresholds - Rapid movement of funds through accounts (layering) - Transactions inconsistent with the customer's stated business purpose
Alert Investigation: Automated alerts are reviewed by our compliance team. Alerts are investigated, documented, and either cleared with supporting rationale or escalated for SAR filing.
Transaction Limits: We apply transaction limits based on customer risk profiles and verification levels. Limits may be adjusted based on ongoing monitoring results and customer history.
Sanctions Screening: All transactions are screened in real time against OFAC, EU, UN, and other applicable sanctions lists. Transactions involving sanctioned parties are automatically blocked and reported.
6. Suspicious Activity Reporting
FDraft LLC has a legal obligation to report suspicious activity to relevant financial intelligence units (FIUs).
Reporting Obligations: We file Suspicious Activity Reports (SARs) or equivalent reports with the appropriate FIU when we know, suspect, or have reasonable grounds to suspect that a transaction involves proceeds of crime, is related to terrorist financing, or involves a sanctioned party.
Tipping Off Prohibition: Once a SAR has been filed or is under consideration, employees are strictly prohibited from disclosing this fact to the customer or any third party (except as required by law). Violation of this prohibition is a serious criminal offense.
Internal Escalation: Any employee who identifies suspicious activity must report it immediately to the designated Money Laundering Reporting Officer (MLRO) using our internal reporting procedures.
Record Retention: All SAR filings and supporting documentation are retained for a minimum of 5 years from the date of filing.
